Can I put some of this up a bleeding nose? (I know there is another product that is specific to nose bleeds, but I hope to carry just 1 Celox product

No I wouldn't . It's small granular that you could inhale. That could cause other issues. In addition, Often nose bleeds come from deep in the sinus cavity and the powder would not even be effective at treating such things

For nosebleeds, use this - made specifically to take care of those issues:CELOX Nosebleed Dressing, 5-Pads

You do not have to apply too much pressure. The needles are fine and the punctures are very small. You will probably not bleed.

Sometimes, depending on the make and material, when products are applied to surfaces like an instrument cluster visor or a clock visor, the product will bleed through. I has seen this in the past. For example, my friend once over sprayed black magic onto the radio and it bled through the visor. It would not come out unless replaced. Try on a small area or used visor first.

Just a quick note here on your question. It all depends on the wound. Granules can penetrate deeper and more quickly than the gauze; however, both can be used to create hemostasis on deeper wounds. Celox Granules will create 100% hemostasis on femoral arterial bleeding, while gauze, depending upon how it is applied, may not reach some points of exsanguination. In TCCC we were taught to use the granules, backfilling the wound with the gauze before wrapping for transport. Additionally, the gauze can be used for a topical dressing and even as a burn dressing when soaked in sterile water.

I'm very fair so I'm not sure. It does cause me to get red and the redness can remain until the next day. So, I would definitely check with the manufacturers website just to be cautious.

the print on my bottles starts to come off with the first use. I thought it was dried blood (from my nose) the first time I saw it. I just bought a new bottle a week ago, and most of the printing is already gone. This is my biggest issue with this product. Otherwise, I am a big fan.

What?? Companies dust TP w/corn starch?? Yikes! I don't think this is dusted with anything, as I have a pretty sensitive nose and this is all we use in the house, instead of tissues. I can't use other products (like puffs or other "mainstream" brands of TP & tissues) b/c of the "dust" factor that just bothers me and makes me sneeze. Maybe it's been corn starch all this time with those other brands...!

I just use the syringe the vet gives me. This product is so chalky I wouldn't want it spilling so make sure your cap is tight. Maybe check at Walgreens or a local pharmacy for exactly what you want. Good luck!

As of now I haven't had any issues. My blue nose pit doesn't seem to have a problem with it. So to answer your question I do believe its safe to use.

that's a bit of an expense for a nose bleed? This product is really for life or death puncture wounds lacerations etc.(maybe a POSTERIOR Nosebleed). an ANTERIOR nose bleed can be stopped with gentle pressure to nostrils sitting upright head slightly tilted forward (NOT BACK) and cold compress.. clotting factor packets are pricey. Hope that helps.. if you are experiencing frequent nose bleeds a trip to the Doctor for Dx is in order could be something serious..High Blood Pressure or? Hope that helps..I have these CLOTTING Packets in my DOG Emergency 1st Aide Care Bin @ our cabin.. of course I would share with a HUMAN if the situation presented itself :) that's a bit of an expense for a nose bleed?

I know this is an old question, but celox now makes a plunger kit specifically for gunshot and stab wounds. If the 35 gram pack won't do it, your probably dead. Also, you mention severed appendages/limbs. A severed limb, you need a good tourniquet, end of story. The celox may help some, but it wont stop that much bleeding. It may help with a finger, but it wont be able to be used on it's own you still need dressing and pressure for that kind of wound.

I agree with the other reviewer, just overfill a couple of pounds. Not much air should bleed out unless you have a faulty valve.

Probably. I accidentally touched myself with it for only a mini-second and did the herky jerk! Had a super head rush for a while. Blistered and bled too. Just the loud popping noise it makes would probably detour anyone. I trust it.

Good answers from Jason and Tattoo. If you do a websearch for Celox in a syringe, there are a couple of pretty good pictures of the applicator that comes in this package. Botach web site has a nice picture. Think just under 1/2" and you'll get a good idea. Sounds like you could use a good hunter's education course in your neck of the woods! ;o)

Yes, they can be used in conjunction if necessary. However, keep in mind one of reasons organizations have gotten away from quick-clot powder was that it blew around and got into the eyes of individuals in the area. The powder also worked to stop the bleeding, but caused a lesser secondary burn. So you could in theory clear blood from the wound, pour in powder, and then pack it with the gauze. I would recommend that you just get another package of gauze. One of the many benefits of this gauze in particular is the blue strip woven into the product that is detectable during x-ray.

Contact the manufacturer to obtain such info, if it is not displayed on packaging. (I'm sure it differs from lot to lot). HOWEVER...ASK YOURSELF HOW RELEVANT THAT INFO IS, WERE SOMEONE TO BE BLEEDING OUT WHEN YOU HAD THE Celox RAPID in hand. ASSUMING THEY'D BE GONE BEFORE PARAMEDICS COULD ARRIVE, (to quote former Sec. of State H. Clinton): "What difference does it make"?

Since you only use a small amount it should be ok. Maybe test a small area first to see if you react. Make sure not to get it in your eyes though.
